Rake In The Profits in Miner Simulator Drill Core’s New “Contracts Expanded” Update

The R’n’D and HR departments speed up the earnings process with all-new contracts

SEATTLE — Oct. 29, 2025 — Drill Core, the roguelite mining strategy simulator from developer Hungry Couch and publisher tinyBuild, maximizes earnings in record-breaking time with the latest “Contracts Expanded” update, available on PC via Steam today.

Listen up, chumps! The trusted advisors at Drill Core Inc. have discovered the perfect formula to drive up success in a fraction of a second. Thanks to the brilliant minds of the prestigious R'n'D and HR departments, a fresh way to work more swiftly (but still laboriously) and earn a quick dime has arrived at the company!.

A round of applause to the profit-earning, hardworking Platform Managers who show up every day to make the galaxy a better place. The Drill Core Inc. team proudly presents the new Accelerated Gameplay Mode, allowing miners to complete Contracts in record time to optimize profit productivity. The new contracts contain a bevy of changes, including reduced costs, shorter days, and reduced cooldowns.

Appreciation for miners doesn’t stop there, with three brand new contract types to spice things up. Competitive Contracts challenge Platform Managers to see who can complete the contract first. The Resource Shipment Contracts mandate collecting the necessary (annoying) employee feedback and ship it to Headquarters. With Field Trials Contracts, miners are challenged to construct contractual obligations only, without demolishing any buildings once constructed.

That's not all: Drill Core Inc. brings a host of welcome additions to enhance the mining experience. Platform skins arrive for the most dedicated expeditioners to liven up the bombing fun, along with Gamepad Controls for greater accessibility. Did we forget to mention the new Elite Aliens? That’s right – new forms of aliens have begun to appear on all planets, bringing an added layer of danger fun to the excavations!

“We’re delighted to deliver the next content-rich update to our Drill Core die-hards that ups the ante in both challenges and fun,” said Konstantin Burov, Head of Hungry Couch Games. “This latest update introduces new contract types, quality of life updates, and a ton of requested additions like collectibles and the sneaky Elite Aliens! ”

Drill Core is available now for Windows PC via Steam for USD $19.99, with its biggest discount ever at 30% off beginning today. The game offers English, French, Ukrainian, Serbian, German, Spanish (Spain), Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language support.
